Enlarged Past

Every time I go out these days, my worry is that I may end up meeting some brother of my old classmates. When I do, I'm mostly embarrassed, first by confusion as to if and how I should be knowing them and next, by the fact that they remember my name. But sometimes, I don't think it's my fault either; I have more or less retained my thin structure whereas they would've added many layers to their frame since they left the childhood. So when the image that I have is of a thin boy in shorts, it's a paradigm shift to adjust and recognise the healthy, goggle-clad smart person in front of me and I fail more often than not.

In fact, I don't think there was any fat kid in the entire school of more than thousand children while I was studying! Just comparing that to what I see in my son's school...

P.B.Srinivas passed away today. One of the most melodious voices I've ever known.
